NAK.Local

Local Storage & Hardware

NAK.Local is part of the NAK.Backup system, this includes 3 parts;

Hardware
This portion is the network attached storage (NAS) device. These are little servers
purpose-built for data storage. Nak Systems Inc. adds its software to theses devices
to add security software and extra functionality. Each NAS device is equipped with
dual drive RAID system, which allows for a drive failure. This allows for a failing
or faulty hard drive to be recovered, or replaced, without any dataloss or downtime.

Local Storage
This is simply hard drives. Each NAS can be equipped with 2 to 12 (or more, depending on model)
traditional hard drives. Nak Systems Inc. uses major brands of hard drives, as well as
data center or storage level drives.

This is the maintenance potion of NAK.Backup. This include autonomous software that
runs on Nak Systems Inc. servers for monitoring, notification, basic device
maintenance, filesystems maintenance, as well as maintenance programs for
hardware repair/replacement

Nak Systems Inc. has chosen to use Synology NAS devices. We have been using
Synology devices both in commercial and private environments for many years.

Local Storage Upgrade Ability

With RAID we can replace a drive at any time, for repair, or to increase storage
capacity. This process can take some time, as hard drive today can include sizes beyond
12Tb. If the drive is full, all the data will have to be copied to the new drive.

Cloud Replication / Storage

For the offsite storage portion, a cloud service provider is the simplest option.
NAK.Local (as part of NAK.Backup) supports many online cloud storage providers
including NAK.Cloud, AWS, Amazon Glacier, Google, Dropbox ...

Be your own Cloud Storage Provider

One of the best features of NAK.Local is that it can be configured to be a
cloud storage provider for NAK.Local devices. If you have two physically separate
locations with good internet bandwith, you can be your own Cloud Storage Provider.
